There are clear connections but those who refuse to look will never see. RATmedia will never report them.

"The vice president might have also mentioned that Ramzi Yousef, who masterminded the 1993 attack and whose laptop computer contained plans to crash U.S. airliners into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, entered the U.S. with an Iraqi passport. " Someone please refresh my memory.....when did we find this out about the laptop computers of Yousef's?

Russert is losing credibility as he shows his partisanship more and more.

Last Wednesday Russert insisted to radio host Don Imus, "No one will say there was a direct involvement of Saddam Hussein in Sept. 11. ... There's no direct link that can be substantiated." The full exchange between Russert and Vice President Cheney on the evidence tying Iraq to 9/11 went like this: RUSSERT: The Washington Post asked the American people about Saddam Hussein, and this is what they said: 69 percent said he was involved in the September 11 attacks. Are you surprised by that?
CHENEY: No. I think it's not surprising that people make that connection.
RUSSERT: But is there a connection?
CHENEY: We don't know.
Whats the beef? What's the difference between what Russert said on Imus and what Cheney said on MTP?

Russert is losing credibility as he shows his partisanship more and more. Exactly where in the show did Russert show his partisanship. I watched the interview last night and if that was a Democrat official being interviewed we would have screamed about his being throw softballs. Russert wasnt argumentative, he let Cheney finish his thoughts without interupting him. He didnt force him to speak in sound bytes. The purpose of these programs is to ask those appearing tough questions. It's not to be a cheering section for one side or the other. Cheney hit home runs on just about every question, why whine about press bias?

I'm so glad that's all cleared up now. By-the-by, how does this equal a "lecture" by VPOTUS? Sound to me as if he was saying "We don't know" if there was a connection - how does this equal a statement of fact that there was a connection?
To: Dave S
I agree! I cheered with every answer our fine VP gave. Including the Halliburton questions.

UNLESS, of course, you are Hillary Rodham Clinton....in which case Russert melts like putty in her hands, smiling and giggling like a school boy with a crush on his Ashley Judd look-alike first grade teacher.

To: kattracks
During the Dimocrat debates Kucinich and Dean repeated the same tired mantra over and over again:
"there was no link between Saddam and 9/11"
It's amazing to me how these liberals can find a conspiracy in every corner when it comes to corporate America or conservative Christians; but as far as terrorists are concerned, they assume innocence even in the face of compelling evidence to the contrary.
They are convoluted in their logic, and one need only look to our neighbors in California to see the inevitable mess made by the application of their philosophy.

Maybe I saw a different interview yesterday.
I was appalled when Russert showed figures on the economy the day President Bush took office and compared them to today. He never mentioned the effects on the economy of 9/11, corporate scandals, war in Afghanistan, war in Iraq, etc... Russert instead asks VP Cheney to look at the figures and asks "how can you run for re-election?" (how can you be such a moron Mr. Russet?)
Also, when talking about Iraq, he stated as fact:
1).There was no connection between Iraq and 9/11.
2).He stated as fact that the US was not at all welcomed as liberators.
Isn't it amazing that Timmy can know this as fact. I have read reports contradicting his facts.
Tim Russert suffers from Lingering Camelot Syndrome (LCS), but not as much as Chris Matthews. They are both waiting for a JFK Second Coming.

In an abundance of caution Cheney said "we don't know." He then laid out specific evidence of links.

Did you notice that when Russert talked about previous statements by Cheney about the deficit, the photos of Cheney that accompanied the text of the statements were both of Cheney scowling? Even Cheney commented on MTP's selection of such bad pictures.

Isn't it amazing that Timmy can know this as fact.Dennis Millers' response during his interview was great on how it is to be a ex-liberal:
TAE: Youve become more conservative over the years. How do you explain this shift?
MILLER: Im not as sure of my guesswork anymore. To be on the Left, you have to be amazingly certain about things youre guessing at,
